title: Inguinoscrotal hernia of the ureter combined with renal pelvic carcinoma.
abstract: Inguinoscrotal herniation of the ureter is a rare finding, with the potential for serious surgical complications. Here we report an extremely rare case of inguinoscrotal hernia of the ureter combined with renal pelvic carcinoma. This 61-year-old man was diagnosed with right renal pelvic tumor, bilateral hydronephrosis with inguinoscrotal hernia of the right ureter, and left ureteral calculus. He was successfully treated with right nephroureterectomy, inguinoscrotal hernia repair, and left ureterolithotomy. Pathologic examinations revealed a high-grade transitional cell carcinoma.
